Thank you for your post, it is interesting to read your travel journal. I had no idea that Chinese and Korean men are that different :)

How nice to be able to have such an experience, Dr. Foreman, and thank you for sharing in such detail! I do believe the stress and business of our lives in America leave people with very little time to remember be gentle and gracious with each other. Imagine if this is so hard for adults, how much more difficult it is for our children? I think it is important that kindness, respect, and being genuine should be ingrained in our young people.

I am glad you like the land and the people you met. I am from Taiwan and proud of who I am. Thank you to look deeply inside the positive characteristics of Taiwanese people and brought it out to share with others via web 2.0.

New book on small-scale Digital Storytelling:

"Digital Storytelling, Mediatized Stories: Self-representations in
New Media"
Edited by Knut Lundby (Peter Lang)

Recent years have seen amateur personal stories, focusing on "me"
flourish on social networking sites and in digital storytelling
workshops. The resulting digital stories could be called "mediatized
stories." This book deals with these self-representational stories,
aiming to understand the transformations in the age-old practice of
storytelling that have become possible with the new, digital media.

Among the contributors to this volume are Nick Couldry, Kirsten
Drotner, Nancy Thumim, David Gauntlett, Ola Erstad and John Hartley.
The book draws upon the "Mediatized Stories" project
www.intermedia.uio.no/mediatized/ and also relates to the research on
digital storytelling at QUT in Australia www.cci.edu.au

Says Sonia Livingstone, LSE, London: "In this insightful and original
volume, international scholars draw on an exciting range of
perspectives to understand the transformative potential of digital
media for human expression and recognition of others."

Professor Kim Foreman,
Many thanks for your kind words about my colleagues and me. We've learned a lot from you actually. We get along with each other very well. Hope to see you soon. By the way, NCCU is often referred to another university in Taiwan, so that my university is better referred to as CCU. Thank you.

Best, Shih-Hung Lo
